Mailed check mid Jan, and it was just cashed. So I guess stickers soon for me...

I'd never buy an S-class, so the EQS is not really in a class of cars I'd consider. The Taycan is already too big. :P

I take it choosing 200kW instead of 150kW gives some sort of advantage to CCS? Because I'd choose 150kW as the min I'd look for on a trip.

Remember that it only works with L2 AC charging, not supercharging.

Even if it doesn't happen now (though at least it's a physical possibility in EU), it will eventually happen once there's a billion CCS chargers everywhere, and it's no longer a marketing advantage for Tesla. The day is coming that Tesla will have to support CCS in the US. It'll likely be more...

The Model 3 and the Taycan are different class vehicles. If they both weren't electric, we wouldn't even be comparing them. It turns out smaller and lighter matter on the track... who knew? :P

For my Turbo, there never was an option to get summer tires with the Mission E wheels, only the Turbo S came with summers :( I have no use for crappy no-season tires, I'll drive something else if I'm going into the mountains.

Yes. You are likely using a 50A circuit that delivers 40A continuous which is 9.6kW. The Taycan displays the value that it receives after losses.

And leave the key far away.

Wait, you are supposed to agonize for weeks over the config! :P

I've been using an Amazon Basics USB-C to Lightning cable since October with no issues. I just run it out the front on the drivers side use it with a ProClip mount (I just plug it into the phone when I feel like it) No problem with the cable.

It's pretty easy to brick hardware with a firmware update if you are updating your bootloader. Since you're likely using bootloader functions to do the update, if it gets hosed, you have no pure software way to replace the bootloader. The manufacturer will be able to reflash the...

I think the term "center screen" here is being confused. You can only display CarPlay on the main PCM screen, which is the top screen in the center of the car. You cannot display CarPlay in the center of the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Which makes sense, given the shape of...

You can only display CarPlay on the main PCM screen

Got my car back today. I went in knowing I was the first one the dealer was attempting, and it took them two tries to get it to work. Car was throwing codes after their first attempt, so they re-did the whole process. Going on a road trip tomorrow, so good luck to me. :P

If the 150kW chargers are 960V (and that's an up-to 960V, likely), then yes you don't need the 400V 150kW option. The Taycan charges just fine on 800V+ 150kW chargers without it. Almost all new 150kW chargers will be the higher voltage version anyway, as that's the way the industry is going.

I have done 2 1000mi road trips in my Taycan, and Innodrive worked great for both. I tested a bunch of situations, including going through the mountains on CA-152. For highway use, Innodrive has worked fine. It will do stop and go traffic. There are a few things that need to be configured...

I'd say get the car with the options you want, and if it requires going 4S to meet the budget, so be it. In 2011, I bought an R8 off the lot because it was being discounted. It was missing a lot of options I would've liked to have, and I regretted not having them almost the whole time I had...

This is mean! We weren't given the option to not get shitty no-season tires on the Turbo! I'm still bitter that the Turbo S can get summer tires on the Mission E wheels, and the Turbo couldn't. And to be on-topic, if I was ordering today, I'd drop the PMCC, but that wasn't a choice in 2020...

If your biggest concern is if the car can drive itself, then Porsche isn't your brand. Choose the Taycan because you want Porsche driving dynamics or you want the personalization Porsche offers. We have many Taycan owners here who were likely looking for something put together better than a...
